Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?

0.229 - 7.119 Dad

Five, four, three, two, one. We are on. Hi, everybody. This is week number two of January.

0

9.582 - 9.562 Morgan

2025.

9.622 - 12.126 Dad

This is our second show of the year.

0

12.146 - 14.509 Justin

Crazy. Time is already flying.

0

14.77 - 15.511 Dad

And we're all together.

16.158 - 23.28 Justin

We are all together. You are back safe and sound? The gang is back. Yeah, I'm feeling a little better still, like this cold.

23.48 - 45.947 Justin

And then obviously we, I've had a cough and then the air quality in LA has not been great because of all these fires, which first and foremost, if there's any of you out there that are a part of our little family and you've been affected by the fires, please, please let us know. It has been just devastating here in LA the past, couple of weeks.

46.267 - 57.029 Dad

So certainly in the Hills of LA, the people that are really in the flats and the concrete, you know, areas have not really been affected, but the people that are, that are living in the Hills and coming out of where there's Bush.

57.189 - 68.292 Justin

Altadena, Pasadena, you know, the Eaton fire, everyone affected by the Palisades fire up in, you know, the Palisades Malibu. I mean, it is truly devastating.

Chapter 2: How are personal experiences shared in the context of girl code?

Chapter 3: Is there a universal girl code or bro code?

2133.453 - 2152.385 Listener (Aaron)

So this happened years ago, and I'm wondering what you guys think I should have done. I had this guy friend, let's call him C, who I was friends with for years. We kind of grew up together and we lived in the same neighborhood. We used to do a lot of things together. He would come over and play with my brother and me.

0

2152.405 - 2175.344 Listener (Aaron)

I used to go over to his house and talk with him and his brother, cook together. I helped him with his English homework, played soccer during the summer overall, just spending time together. But one summer, our hangout started to feel different. I started to get the vibe that he was flirting with me. Ever since I met him, I thought he was cute, but never did or said anything about it.

0

2176.364 - 2199.277 Listener (Aaron)

Anyway, one thing led to the next, and during the summer, we started hooking up. We were hanging out more often, but it was casual, no labels. I introduced him to another friend I met that summer. Let's call her D. Slowly but surely, I started to realize that C was a lot more distant with me, not rude, but different. So we stopped hooking up.

0

2200.378 - 2220.75 Listener (Aaron)

Then I find out that D and him started seeing each other. It lasted for like three months and then they broke it off. D never spoke to me about their relationship except casually mentioning that that they were seeing each other. I didn't know what to do, so I did not mention we were hooking up before. I don't know why I didn't think it was pertinent.

0

2221.79 - 2247.44 Listener (Aaron)

A month later, after their breakup, C starts flirting with me again and I asked him if he was seeing D and he told me no. I heard from my sister that D wasn't seeing C, so I took it as a green light to casually hook up with C again. The details have become blurry, but somehow Dee found out that I was hooking up with C. I did not tell her. She got mad at me and we stopped talking for a little bit.

2248.001 - 2262.03 Listener (Aaron)

She would come over to my house to see my sister and would not even look at me. My sister eventually told me that Dee was mad because I broke girl code. Do you guys think I did? Nope. And where do you guys think I messed up?

2263.43 - 2269.333 Justin

You didn't break girl code. You messed up by not telling her you were hooking up with him when you introduced them.

2269.593 - 2269.813 Jerry

Yeah.

2270.914 - 2287.683 Justin

Because technically she's the one that broke girl code, but she didn't know. Right. And you can only act on what you know. So, you know, if you're introducing and you're like, hey, this is my friend, C, D could, you know, think he's fair game.
